Of various electroencephalography paradigms, SSVEP-based BCI systems enable apoplectic people to communicate with outside world easily, due to their simple system structure, short or no training time, high temporal resolution, high information transfer rate, and affordable by comparing to other methods. SSVEP-based BCIs use multiple visual stimuli flickering at different frequencies to generate distinct commands. In this paper, we compared the classifier performances of combinations of binary commands flickering at seven different frequencies to determine which frequency pair gives the highest performance using temporal and spectral methods. For SSVEP frequency recognition, in total 25 temporal change characteristics of the signals and 15 frequency-based feature vectors extracted from the SSVEP signal. These feature vectors were applied to the input of seven well-known machine learning algorithms (Decision Tree, Discriminant Analysis, Logistic Regression, Naive Bayes, Support Vector Machines, Nearest Neighbour, and Ensemble Learning). In conclusion, we achieved 100% accuracy in 7.5 - 10 frequency pairs among these 2,520 distinct runs and we found that the most successful classifier is the Ensemble Learning classifier. The combination of these methods leads to an appropriate detailed and comparative analysis that represents the robustness and effectiveness of classical approaches.","PeriodicalId":112412,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Intelligent Systems with Applications","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132810470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are energy-saving, affordable and safe alternatives to laser devices which are recently preferred in photobiomodulation. Although the wavelengths between 600-700 nm are most preferred ones, there is a lack of practical optical systems which study this mechanism in vitro with different wavelengths simultaneously. In this study, a portable and remotely controlled multicolor LED-based system was designed and tested on the wound healing process of human keratinocytes by irradiating the cells homogenously with 3 different wavelengths (460-475 nm as blue, 515-535 nm as green, and 585-595 nm as orange) on different experimental groups at the same time. Its proliferative and wound healing effect was evaluated with cell viability (MTT) analysis and cell migration (scratch) assay, respectively. It was observed that orange-LEDs were designated as the most triggering wavelength in terms of cell proliferation. Also, it was revealed with this device that different wavelengths can reach the intended accelerated wound healing process, so this optical system will be an advantageous design for future practical photobiomodulation studies in vitro.","PeriodicalId":112412,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Intelligent Systems with Applications","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121407924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Also, most people cannot realize they have diabetes. For this reason, most of the studies in the literature have focused only on the diagnosis of diabetes. Diabetes treatment is an extremely costly process. In the treatment of diabetes, it is primarily aimed to raise the awareness of the patients' relatives and the patient. Training studies are carried out to raise the awareness of patient relatives and the patient. This training, which is given to raise awareness of patients and their relatives, is the most important and indispensable step of the diabetes treatment process. So, this education will achieve its goal more easily and quickly. In the prepared game, there will be information about diabetes prevention methods and diabetes disease. In case of doing factors that may cause diabetes in the game, the symptoms of the disease will be shown to the player.

An autonomous targeting mechanism has been developed with an electromagnetic weapon integrated into the air robot to create a reference route. Various methods are proposed considering the range limitation of electromagnetic weapons and possible targeting errors of the robot user. For target tracking, a control algorithm has been developed to have the most appropriate targeting under the dynamic constraints of the robot and the user.

In many studies in the literature, different metrics have been used for comparison of different methods. In this study, deep convolutional neural networks are used as a decision maker for video stabilization. VGG networks with different number of layers are used to determine the stability status of the videos.

It is mostly used as an auxiliary measurement to the other monitoring methods; however, it carries significant patterns reflecting current cardiovascular health status of subjects. If it is properly collected within a non-clinical environment, it might be able to present preliminary data to physicians before clinic. SCG signals are morphologically noisy. These signals store excessive amount of data. Extracting significant information corresponding to heartbeat complexes is so important. Previously, the method called compressed sensing (CS) had been applied to weed up the redundant information by taking the advantage of sparsity feature in a study. This compressed sensing is based on storing significant signals below the Nyquist rate which suffice for medical diagnosis. It has been feasible to compress SCG signals with 3:1 compression rate at least while maintaining accurate signal reconstruction. Nevertheless, higher compression rates lead to the formation of artifacts on reconstructed signals. This limits a more aggressive compression to reduce the amount of data. The requirement of a different approach which will allow higher compression rates and lower loss of information arises. The purpose of this study is to obtain more competent results by using a method called predefined signature and envelope vector sets (PSEVS) which has been satisfyingly applied to electrocardiogram (ECG) and speech signals. In the study, simultaneously recorded ECG and SCG signals were modeled with the method called PSEVS. The reconstructed signals were compared to the original signals so as to investigate the efficacy of signature-based modeling methods in constructing medically remarkable biosignals for clinical use. After examining the components of reconstructed signals called frame-scaling coefficient, signature and envelope vectors, it has been seen that the error function values of envelope vectors differ from expected values. We concluded that reconstructed SCG signals were not adequate for medical diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":112412,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Intelligent Systems with Applications","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124915539","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this type of problem, several Wi-Fi routers placed in an indoor environment provide signals with different strengths depending on the location/room of the user. Most classification algorithms successfully make the localization with a high accuracy rate. However, in the current literature, there is no widely accepted 'best' algorithm for solving this problem. This study proposes the use of the plurality rule to combine several classification algorithms and obtain a single result. Plurality voting rule is an electoral system where the candidate that polls the most vote wins the election. We apply the plurality rule to the indoor localization problem and generate the Majority algorithm. The Majority algorithm takes the 'votes' of five different classification algorithms and provides a single result through plurality rule. Results show that the mean accuracy rate of the Majority algorithm is higher than the classification algorithms it combines. In addition, we show that proving a single accuracy rate is not sufficient for declaring that an algorithm is better than the other. Classification algorithms select the training and test data randomly and different divisions result in different accuracy rates. In this study, we show that comparing the classification algorithms through confidence intervals provides more accurate information.","PeriodicalId":112412,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Intelligent Systems with Applications","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128123024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
